What Should I Use Other Than Metoclopramide Instead Of For Motion Sickness?

Hi I've had motion sickness and I used to take dimenhydrinate for a long time which was very helpful, also whenever I have stress, I feel nauseated and the only thing that help me was that tablet. Unfortunately I've finished this tablet and I don't know what should I do? Thanks

Bs I can't use metoclopramide which gives me extra pyramidal side effect.

Hi there,

Thanks for your query.

Instead of metoclopramide, you may take Cinnarizine 25-30mg, two hours before travel. It is a safer drug, though it might produce mild extrapyramidal symptoms in some individuals, but the incidence is much less than metoclopramide.

If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE ALL doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.

Take care
